Character Concept: My First Hero
The concept art of a character is not about beautiful lines or complex rendering. It's about the image: the ability to find the character of a hero through silhouette, shape and sign — even before you take up the details.

BeginnerAbout the Course
The concept art of a character is not about beautiful lines or complex rendering. It's about the image: the ability to find the character of a hero through silhouette, shape and sign — even before you take up the details.
In three modules, you will go through the full cycle of character creation: from warm-ups and first sketches to linart, color scheme and final rendering. Mikhail Logachev leads through each stage and analyzes the most common mistakes — those that usually waste time and results.
